Background:

This article is about the servicemen and women buried in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, sons and brothers of the American people. A permanent guard and the American flag have stood at the tomb since 1937 to honor their sacrifice. The mausoleum's guards are selected from the elite of the Army's 3rd Infantry Regiment and stand watch around the clock and in all weather conditions. Their routine includes marching on the black mat behind the tomb and performing the mandatory shoulder-arm maneuver, which signals readiness to respond to threats. Depending on the season and time of day, the guards change every 30 to 120 minutes and do not change their schedule due to bad weather. Whether it's a windy snowstorm or a calm summer night, the guards and the American flag are always with the Unknown Soldiers, never letting their sacrifice be forgotten. The article also mentions that an artist named Laura Stutzman created the illustrations for the “Flags for All Seasons” stamps, a set of four stamps that each feature lifelike flags and trees.
